The problem here is likely that the AI system bases it's ideas on
the current average (norm) and those salaries are common..

That information is really an estimate of what the hiring company
should have to pay based on that information rather than it is
suggesting the person looking for the job ask for more than the
average for a similar employee reducing their chances of being hired.

This in no way suggests I think anyone should be paid differently
based on anything but job skills.
